wtac Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Here's my method of killing aiptasia. Here's the last and tough one that I've been trying to kill and this is the 5th attempt. It's about 1.25" tall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtac Posted November 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Here's the 60cc syringe with 22g needle. 18g would be better but I ran out. There's 3 tsp Kalk and water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtac Posted November 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 "Shooting" it up. The pumps have been shut off for about 5 mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtac Posted November 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 It retracted into it's crevace (naturally) and then I just covered it in about 1/8" of the powder. This time I left the pumps off for 30 mins. It's been about 18 hours and no signs of it coming back. What I did wrong in the past is not waiting long enough before putting the pumps back on. Hopefully I don't have to do it again...LOL Hope it helps out those with aiptasia problems. Wilson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calgary_kc Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 hi wtac, what's the ratio of kalk and water? i have a tough one just like yours, i tried concentrated lemon juice as well as kalk+water but that da*n thing still come back. Also, i probably will try your advice on shutting off the pump for about half an hour next time. thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtac Posted December 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 No exact recipe. In a shot glass put in a teaspoon or two, add water, mix and suck it up. The important part is letting the Kalk powder do it's thing. If you can get some injected inside and then cover the hole that it retracted in with powder for at least 30 mins.
